DStv Compact and Compact Plus

The DStv Compact and Compact Plus packages are two of the most popular packages offered by the satellite television service. One of the main reasons people choose to subscribe to them is how affordable they are compared to the premium package (DStv’s highest package). They also offer way better channels than those available on the cheaper packages like the Yanga and Padi. Regardless, there are still a couple of things that separate Compact from Compact Plus and prompts some people to go for one instead of the other.

DStv Compact

  • Price: N7,900 per month
  • Number of TV Channels: 135+

DStv Compact is one of the more affordable DStv packages designed to appeal to middle-class Nigerian families. It ranks as the third most expensive package with a cost of N7,900 per month. All the channels available on Compact cater to all types of people, from children to teens, sports enthusiasts, music lovers, and so on.
